Brazil nuts, a health concern?

Question

I've eaten about roughly 12 (At the most) chocolate covered brazil nuts. I forgot how fattening they are. Will this be damaging to my health? I'm kinda paranoid.

Answer 1

no

dont worry so much

Answer 2

Why? Is there a health warning out or something?

Answer 3

If you workout you should be fine. You have to burn more than you take in.

Answer 4

12 is ok but are you sure it wasn't 13? That could be real bad ....

Answer 5

Brazil nuts are very fatty, but they have good fats. 12 is a reasonable serving. They are healthier when they are dry-roasted and not covered in chocolate, but if you're not diabetic, a bit of chocolate isn't going to destroy your diet or have any  ill effects. Chocolate has magnesium and some antioxidants, so it wasn't a waste of calories like a donut or a twinkie would have been.

Usually 8-15 nuts count as a serving, depending on the size.

They won't damage your health. Fat is not bad for you- too much  fat is.

If you're that worried about calories, walk for 30 minutes or run for 15-20 minutes and you'll burn the calories right off.
